Reely Bernie Horror Fest: Lake Mungo – 2008

It all starts with this leaf. For me, this fallen amber-hued leaf represents the promise of the upcoming autumn season, which is undoubtedly my favorite season of the year. Radiant colors begin appearing on trees and end up on the ground to a crackling sound that brings you back to younger days. This is the […]

Horror on the Lens: Bloodlust! (dir by Ralph Booker)

Host tells the story of the Zoom meeting from Hell. Actually, that description is a case of me being a bit too glib.  Though this hour-long film, which can currently be viewed on Shudder, has received a lot of attention for its Zoom call format, there’s a good deal more going on in Host.  It’s […]
